Currently thinking in a 1/72 model using a Hasegawa flak 18

Does any of you have info about tractor and other land devices?

This page is on the Schmetterling, however it should give you a good idea about how they intended to service and use the AA missiles.

As far as tractors are concerned, most likely their standard 3/4 track prime movers.

Do you have the kit.
Think the Planet Models kit comes with the launcher.  The Condor kit has just the missile.

The Hanomag Sdkfz 7 should be plenty powerful enough to tow it.

For the whiffing shake:
I think that launching base would be usually static. This way, missiles could be transported by a simple Opel truck, perhaps equiped with a crane. IMHO operating this device could not be the similar to a FlaK 88mm gun.

BTW Has anyone built the Planet models kit?
I have the Condor one.
